On this week’s episode, Sarah Vine addresses her thinning pate and loss of hair that has plagued her most of her adult life and why she’s now finally decided to cast her wig aside! Meanwhile, Peter looks at the incredible story of Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe, the woman held hostage by the same Iranian forces who took his friend prisoner too. Plus, Peter and Sarah ruminate on dual nationalities, Sarah’s Spotify wrap thinking she’s aged 75, if identity politics has damaged progress for the working class and, remarkably, the listener who suggest that Peter puts him in mind of Tom Cruise’s character in Top Gun. Well, he is a maverick in some ways.On our reading and watch list this week: · Top Gun – Dir: Tony Scott· Top Gun: Maverick – Dir: Joseph Kosinski · Breaking the Silence on Women's Hair Loss: A Proactive Guide to Finding Help – Candace Hoffman· Prisoner 951 – Dir: Philippa Lowthorpe Please do get in touch, email: [email protected] you can leave a comment on Spotify or even send us a voice note on Whatsapp – on 07796 657512, start your message with the word ‘alas’.
